Best Answer

The wattage of bulb one uses in a bedroom lamp depends on several factors. If it is a lamp used for back ground lighting or a night lamp, one would use a very low wattage bulb. If it is for a bedroom reading lamp, one would want a stronger wattage. The biggest factor on deciding what wattage to use is the wattage suggested by the lamp manufacturer. All lamps are marked with recommend bulb wattage.
